Warnings: None.
"Inuart" (8:50:07 PM): Caim
"Caim" (8:50:18 PM): ... Inuart.
"Inuart" (8:50:37 PM): ...
"Caim" (8:50:42 PM): Yes?
"Inuart" (8:55:57 PM): I have been...far too hasty...with words, actions, and emotions...
"Caim" (8:56:55 PM): You are still human. You are not excluded for the errors that mankind makes. You are not required to be any different.
"Inuart" (9:01:06 PM): Still, I don't like having such flaws. And unfortunately, you bore most of the blunt of my actions.
"Caim" (9:03:22 PM): Nobody enjoys having flaws. Those are inevitable, however, even with you and me. I believe my distaste with you, while present, has somewhat faded.
"Inuart" (9:09:54 PM): I wouldn't blame you. No matter what I had intended, my actions did lead to your sister's death... You have every right to hate me.
"Caim" (9:10:44 PM): Hatred is a wasted emotion, apparently. The past, let it die, Inuart.
"Inuart" (9:23:30 PM): That is difficult considering that I wish to atone for the sins and mistakes that I have committed.
"Caim" (9:24:16 PM): Then do whatever you feel is necessary to atone.
"Inuart" (9:25:55 PM): Caim...I respect you to a great degree. Yet I do not know what I can do to redeem myself in your eyes.
"Caim" (9:26:59 PM): ...... This... is an awkward conversation for me.
"Inuart" (9:29:46 PM): How is it awkward? You know that it is true. You were my closest friend growing up, Caim.
"Caim" (9:31:11 PM): ... I am aware of this. I once told Furiae that it was not so simple to move along and forget the things that happened. You likely feel the same.
"Inuart" (9:46:39 PM): Perhaps more so. I am the one to blame for the ills that befell Furiae. I don't think I can ever live what I did down.
"Caim" (9:50:13 PM): You and I have both made our share of discrepancies. What will you do now?
"Inuart" (9:57:32 PM): I honestly don't know. The task feels overwhelming.
"Caim" (10:00:03 PM): I do share those sentiments. Thank you for your honesty, Inuart.
"Inuart" (10:05:16 PM): ...why are you so calm towards me, Caim? The day I arrived, you were ready to piece my heart with your blade.
"Caim" (10:06:39 PM): ... That is a good question. I really don't have an answer for it. I just don't feel like being filled with hatred for anyone. Not even Alexandra with her ridiculous antics.
"Inuart" (10:15:33 PM): Somehow, I find that hard to believe. But I'm seeing it with my eyes.
"Caim" (10:18:48 PM): It does me some good knowing that Furiae seems to be watching my every move. She doesn't appreciate me acting 'out of line', which includes being disrespectful toward you.
"Inuart" (10:31:05 PM): Hm...is that so...?
"Caim" (10:31:29 PM): Of course. You would respect her as well, wouldn't you?
"Inuart" (10:32:39 PM): Of course I would. That goes without saying
"Caim" (10:32:52 PM): Precisely.
"Caim" (10:33:01 PM): That's a lot of why I am the way I am.
"Caim" (10:36:19 PM): Besides, is there really a point to either of us wasting our time with our swords against each other? You already heard my piece.
"Inuart" (10:46:54 PM): No, there is no point. Right now, I have no desire to clash with you at all, Caim. It is a strange feeling...but it's there nevertheless.
"Caim" (10:48:44 PM): You couldn't compare to me anyway. No sense in clashing when you'll be defeated. Heh.
"Inuart" (10:57:19 PM): Excuse me, Caim? That is hardly the case.
"Caim" (10:57:57 PM): Good. Something does still hit you hard.
"Inuart" (11:13:14 PM): If you continue to speak like that, we may clash blades yet.
"Caim" (11:13:43 PM): Hm. Don't make such an idle promise.
